“I’ve been obese my whole life, ever since I was a kid,” says Jeancarlo, 40. “I’ve always known food was an addiction; I realized that I was never able to maintain a normal eating habit.” In a recent episode of Truly’s Brand New Me transformation series, Jeancarlo speaks about his experiences of obesity, and how

Our motto? Cookie butter all the things. And so far, we’ve gotten just that in the form of products from grocers, like Trader Joe’s uber-popular Cookie Butter spread and their more recently released Cookie Butter Beer, to even homemade recipes from popular food bloggers, including Gimme Delicious. Now, we have TikToker Nina Estrada to thank

While comfort food might be heavily associated with the winter season, don’t let anyone tell you that it can’t be enjoyed year-round. With so much going on in the world, food has the ability to ease your mind, even if it’s just for a short time and we savor every minute of it. Any hearty

Neal Bendesky, a.k.a. the 199 Guy, tells Men’s Health how working out with Orangetheory Fitness and committing to good nutrition have given him a new—and longer—lease of life. I used to be a prisoner of my job as a senior sports marketing and sales executive for major professional and college teams. I had exciting, high-profile

You might think you’ve seen it all when it comes to apple cider vinegar. And that’s fair enough, considering it appears on Instagram in everything from simple salad dressings to influencers’ “fat-burning” elixirs. But these days, the substance is taking yet another form: apple cider vinegar gummies. Think of it as your daily multi-gummy reimagined

The old (and irrelevant) adage goes: you should never trust a skinny chef. But what about a chef with 24-inch biceps and the shredded physique of a Marvel superhero? For the latest installment of Eat Like, we met up with former White House Chef Andre Rush to talk about what it’s like to consume eight

First, spinach had its heyday in the early aughts. Then kale became trendy (remember when people would throw kale in the oven and have the audacity to call it chips?!), and now cauliflower is having a moment. The next type of produce that’s poised for fad-dom? Bok choy. “Like other leafy green vegetables, bok choy

My favorite Easter candy to receive in my basket growing up was always Cadbury’s mini eggs. They looked so realistic and tasted delicious with their crunchy outer shell and rich chocolate inside. Even today, it’s one of my favorite treats to pick up around Easter. Nothing beats a good old chocolate egg. Costco is selling

What’s your most-used kitchen utensil? Most people would probably say a chef’s knife, or a wooden spoon, but those in the know? They’ll say spurtle, every time. But we don’t blame you if you’ve never heard of spurtles before. They’re a wooden utensil traditionally used in Scotland to stir porridge, soups, and stews, but they’re

After a long week of work, spending time with your children can really help re-energize you. Breakfast on the weekends with the kids is my favorite time of the week. Making fun food like homemade waffles or pancakes is priceless and they just love helping out in the kitchen. Sure, you could make that TikTok

My name is Melissa Gardner (@getfitwithmeliss). I am 25 years old and live in Utah, where I work as a full-time registered behavior tech, and I also am a certified personal trainer and online coach. After dealing with postpartum anxiety, I discovered Andy Frisella’s 75 Hard mental toughness program and lost 20 pounds. In total,

Celebrating holidays in the pandemic has been an adjustment over the last year we didn’t exactly plan for. Many of our favorite traditions were hindered due to COVID-19 and Easter 2020 was the first holiday we experienced in our new condition. With Easter soon approaching on April 4th, things still have yet to return to

When it comes to holidays, St. Patrick’s day isn’t usually the most popular one to celebrate. Everybody still has to go to work and school, and if you don’t have Irish roots, it’s easy to forget about the day altogether. That’s a shame, though, because it’s the perfect time to get creative with some fun,

It seems like everyone we know started to get serious about baking in the past year, and though some of us were set on perfecting sourdough or mastering the perfect banana bread (it’s brownie banana bread, FYI), others took their new skills in a more whimsical direction, and the jelly island cake was born. These

My name is Yashica Chesterfield (@imjustshica), and I’m 38 years old. I live in Nashville, Tennessee, and I am a benefits specialist. After years of yo-yo dieting, I tried 16:8 intermittent fasting and began walking for weight loss. I had always struggled with weight issues, even as a kid. I had tried every diet trend

Ina Garten is our go-to for delicious, indulgent dinners. From her fresh crab nachos to her roasted veggies, she is seriously the queen of making food elegant. Somehow she even manages to elevate a PB&J sandwich. Her latest creation has our stomach growling already, it’s a cod recipe with garlic and herb Ritz crumbs. Great

Can you name something more comforting than a warm, creamy, ooey-gooey bowl on homemade mac and cheese on a cold winter night? It’s the ultimate comfort food and while there are countless different boxed mac and cheese products you could make, nothing will ever compare to homemade. The only downside to homemade is that sometimes

We love following TikTok food trends, because we tend to find about things we’d literally never even thought of making or eating before. Dalgona cloud coffee turned our morning caffeine ritual into one of the best parts of our day, baked feta pasta changed weeknight cooking forever, and don’t even get us started on that

My name is Dionna Thompson (@so_damthicknbad), and I am 28 years old. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and I am a certified personal trainer. My weight went up and down pretty much all my life, and I remember gaining weight in middle school. In high school, however, I lost a lot of weight and was

As we performed our daily sweep of Giada De Laurentiis‘ social media accounts, we were stopped in our tracks by her whole wheat linguine. Not because of its colorful pasta and vibrant green beans and cherry tomatoes, but because of the pasta hack De Laurentiis buried in the caption of the Instagram post. And now,
